title: Mounting natural teeth for preclinical exercises.
abstract: Plastic teeth are commonly used to help teach students who are taking preclinical courses in restorative dentistry. Unfortunately, plastic teeth do not have the texture, anatomy, and other characteristics of natural teeth. To provide more realistic clinical experience for dental students, a technique is described for mounting natural teeth in a dentoform.
